The Inova Gestão Pública Award was presented at the Palácio da Cidade in Botafogo, in an exclusive event for the finalist civil servants and guests. The aim of the award is to celebrate ideas that promote the transformation of public management, generating direct benefits for the city and its inhabitants.
– The João Goulart Foundation Institute is a development hub. We created this award to recognize and celebrate, together with public servants, their intentions, ideas and their day-to-day work. It is very important to recognize the hard work that is done throughout the year. We will encourage and recognize the intellectual capital of these public servants, ensuring that more ideas exist and that we have an environment of innovation and collaboration – explains Rafaela Bastos, president of the Foundation.
The award was created to stimulate a culture of innovation in the public sector and to recognize teams that rethink everyday processes and activities, whether with small improvements or major transformations. In addition, the award is an opportunity to give visibility to relevant projects that often remain little known.
Municipal Secretary of Finance and Planning, Andrea Senko recalled that the João Goulart Foundation, once again, “is causing a rupture in the thinking of the public sector”.
– This award is important because it encourages innovative projects. Projects that could eventually be used by the City Hall. And another important point is to talk about a possible expansion of these projects to other municipalities, other public entities in the state of Rio and Brazil as a whole. This is fundamental. This appreciation of the public servant is sensational, giving visibility and recognition.
There were 143 entries from teams from 25 municipal agencies. After going through three evaluation stages, the selected finalists participated in the awards ceremony, where the winning teams received R$8.000,00, trophies and places in training offered by the João Goulart Foundation Institute.
Servers participated in the following categories:
1 – Innovative Proposals: implementable projects that simplify organizational processes, services or public policies, focusing on end users, whether citizens or civil servants;
2 – Initiatives Implemented in Organizational Processes: projects already implemented that directly benefit municipal public bodies and employees themselves
3 – Initiatives Implemented in Public Services or Policies: implemented initiatives that generate a direct impact on the lives of citizens.
Category winners
In the Innovative Proposals category, the winning project was “Monitora”, by Walter Passos, a civil servant at the Technical Coordination of Infrastructure and Logistics of the Civil House. In second place was the project “Limpeza 360: Complete and Online Management of Urban Cleaning” and, in third place, “Meu Ponto Acessível”.
– Monitora emerged from some gaps that we noticed, such as leakage, deviation from the consumption pattern, which made me think that, instead of taking reactive action, only when the bill arrives and I have already lost resources, what would it be like if I had consumption measured in real time. Monitora combines technology with the problem to try to solve it and act in a shorter time to avoid waste and optimize public resources.
In the category Initiatives Implemented in Organizational Processes, the winner was “The impact of Geoprocessing and Spatial Analysis on health data processing”, by Alexsandra Clarin and Viviane Lins Araújo, both from the Health Department.
– It is the recognition of the work we have been doing at the city hall since 2008 and which has now given us the opportunity to play a role in management – says Alexsandra.
At his side, Viviane explains the importance of the project: – Our impact is the response time in relation to the data that is processed and the resolution and assistance of each user's health – she says.
– Instead of spending time on list management, we spend it on care management – adds Alexsandra.
In second place was the “Personal Data Privacy and Protection Governance Program” and the “GM Without Prejudice Program” project came in third place.
In the category Initiatives Implemented in Public Services or Policies, first place went to the “Rio de Energia Verde Project”, by Wilians Gaspar, Fábio Batista and Walner Mattoso, all from the Sub-Secretariat of Shared Management of the Finance Department.
– The Rio de Energia Verde Project delivers very important economic and sustainability aspects. It arose from a need we saw in relation to electric energy. We enter into energy contracts from 40% clean and renewable sources, directly with the producers. We buy around 50, 40 percent cheaper than what is offered by Light and avoid these emissions. In the first phase of the project alone, at Cass, which has already been migrated, 30 thousand tons of carbon were avoided in the consumption of this energy and 60 million reais in savings in a XNUMX-month contract – explains Willians.
In second place was the project “Elections for All: Alternative Communication in the 2022 Elections”, followed by “Literary Festival Circuit”.
